Only the guilty help the injured: legacy of the 'Nanjing Judge' all too apparent as passers-by ignore hit-run toddler

The sight of an injured toddler lying bleeding on the road for seven minutes while passers-by ignored her shocked many around the world, but to some in China it was the all too familiar legacy of the "Nanjing Judge".

A judge in the eastern city of Nanjing made headlines five years ago when he blamed a good Samaritan for knocking an old lady over in the street because "common sense" meant only the guilty help the injured.
